Custom Glass Engraving for a Harry Potter Birthday Celebration

Our custom glass engraving service helped make a Harry Potter birthday celebration even more special for the kids at Reformation Brewery. We got the call a few nights before the celebration on July 30 (also happens to be our CEO’s birthday). Merry Quarles from Reformation Brewery asked Desiree if she could create a special “horcrux” for the kids to find at the birthday party. “No problem!” said Desiree. We had done a few live engraving events at Reformation so Merry knew we could handle the job.

Desiree picked up the glass at Reformation that same day and went to work in her engraving studio.

She found the correct “H” online and printed it out on special drafting paper with a sticky back used by draftsmen. Then she pasted the paper on to the glass and started the custom glass engraving process with her handpiece drill. If you look closely at the H, you’ll see it is made up of several hundred dots, like a dot matrix except these are all done by hand. Every dot is carefully placed in the outline of the design. It is a lot of work and takes more time than our regular engraving, but the results are fantastic and we can recreate most any design you can find both online and offline.

You can see the final custom glass engraving design below.

Merry told Desiree both the kids and adults loved the glass. Many wanted to take it home, but only the person who found it got to keep it. The glass was a huge hit and made the celebration even more special.

If you have a unique design you would like engraved on glass, metal, wood or most any type of item, give us a call at 770 509 8797!

Customer Accolades

“Desiree was wonderful to work with and I am pleased with the leather debossing she did on some valets I purchased for boys high school graduation presents. She was very responsive, sent pictures of choices and results, and mailed items back to me at a busy time of year. Thank you!”
–Carolyn White

“I am so happy to have found Desiree and Inkwell Designers! For months I was for someone who could engrave Hebrew on a journal, and it seemed that no one could do what I was looking for. But thankfully I found Desiree’s company online one day, and I was so excited to hear that she could do what I was looking for. It was a pleasure to work with Desiree. She is so sweet and very professional, communication was easy, I was easily able to get in touch with her and have all my questions answered, and it is very clear that her company desires to do each job right. Thank you so much, Desiree and to your wonderful company for my journal, I love it! All God’s best for your company! Shalom!”

–Sofia Petruzzelli

“We reached out to Desiree @ inkwell for a corporate calligraphy project. It was quite involved, with a compressed time frame. Suffice it to say – she and her team knocked it out of the park for us. Beautiful work through and through – we look forward to expanding our relationship with them soon…”

— Jason Daniels, NETWORX

Thank you again for your impressive craftsmanship and service.”

“I wanted a unique and special experience for our wedding guests and having Desiree and Joe onsite at our wedding in Hilton Head, engraving wine glasses for everyone, was exactly the experience I was hoping for! Desiree is an incredibly talented artist – they not only engraved whatever wording each person wanted they also added a turtle, hearts or any other artwork they desired. The fact they were also personable and delightful to all of our guests – and to me while working with them on the details – was just icing on the cake. It truly made our wedding special for all involved. I can’t recommend them highly enough for any event.”— Julienne Million
